Abstract
A garment hanger that is configured to stack with other hangers and/or move between collapsed and extended configurations. The hanger may include an edge defining a recessed area upon one side of the hanger and a corresponding raised area upon the opposite side of the hanger. Multiple hangers may be stacked with one another by engaging the recessed area of a first hanger with the raised area of a second hanger stacked with the first hanger. The hanger may also include one or more extending portions or arms that pivot or otherwise move between the extended configuration for the hanging of garments thereon and a collapsed configuration for shipment or storage. The one or more extending portions or arms may lock or engage with another portion of the hanger when in the extended configuration or collapsed configuration in order to help the hanger remain in such configuration until otherwise desired.
